I had the error 4142 which doesnt seem to be listed? I had the same thing happen to me as everyone else, the freezing, the black screens etc.. Except i unplugged everything for an house, put it all together TIGHT and lft it WIDE open for 3 hours. I came home and it was working again, i dont know for how long though.

when all 4 blink that is a 0 so you have the 0102 error which I just got as well. Mine happened after I froze in the BF2MC demo and now it just keeps giving me the error it either has to do with the downloaded demos or the power supply I think.

E65- problem with DVD. Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip (or DVD timeout I think).

My friend, Bionix from xbox-scene.pl test it

Any idea what type of RAM the xbox 360 uses? I heard that error 0102 is a problem with the RAM. Its gotta be cheaper buying 512MB or Ram and installing it myself rather than paying the $129 repair charge.

So I had a 360 for 3 days and it died. I just pulled 0102 has anyone figured that one out yet? By the way its deffinatly not fixed yet as the build date on mine was 3-24-06.

error code "0102" is LITTERALLY "unknown problem" meaning the Xbox doesn't even know what's wrong

Top post updated... thanks to sowa99 and XGX xINSANITYx we now have possible definitions for 0022 and E65

Samsung K4J52324QC-BC14 - 512Mbit GDDR3

Doesn't look easy to replace, it's a 136pin BGA (ball grid array), unlike the ram chips on the Xbox 1.

dont be afriad to buy a 360, the reason you hear about so many consoles failing is because people who have working ones don't complain

say even you saw 30 people on here with defunk consoles, theres another 1000 whos are perfect

Exactly. I haven't had one single problem yet with my 360 (knock on wood), it runs great. All I did was put Arctic Silver 5 on the heatsinks, and put a heatsink on the southbridge.

Since I've heard about all these ram problems, I'm going to work on a way to cool all the ram chips effectively, since only 2 of the 8 have anough room around them to put a heatsink on.

I get 0110 what the hell is that?

Hallo together!!

I think I have a solution for error 0102.

My x360 has the 3 blinking lights (error 0102). The Xbox360 was booting up and suddenly it froze, sometimes at X-logo or in dashboard. Sometimes I had also picture errors. (Vertical stripes and many rectangles) After 20-40 reboots I got it to work!

Then I opened my xbox, turned it on and touched the BGA memory chips. During this the xbox got more pixel errors and if I pressed strong enough, all pixel errors disappeared. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I thought that I have found the problem, but when I pressed on the Southbridge the same thing happened again. Sometimes more picture mistakes sometimes less. So this means, that the problem is something there.

I remembered, that I still have a Ti4600 GPU with defective BGA RAMs. It makes funny signs and symbols if I touch it. So I used my Hot-air (http://www.freepler.de/userdaten/38928917/...60/01010007.jpg) and heated up this BGA chips. Then I waited till the graphic card have a normal temperature. And you will not believe it! All runs OK, no changes when I touch the RAMs. I also played with it and tested it with benchmark, no problem any more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And now!! I have done the same work with my xbox360. And also here, everything works in the best way!!
no freeze, no pixelerrors or horrible noise and no bootup problems.

I think MS has saved on high-quality tin-solder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Attention!! I cannot guarantee that it will also works on your xbox360!!
If you still want trying it, be carefully and do not move or touch anything when you heat them up.

well my error 0102 happend when i made this account, and since then i havn't found anything on the net so far telling me what to do. shortly before it happend my memory card port took a dump ( suspiciously after somebody in my house cut the power while i was booting up) after that it still worked and hdd was fine. but a few days later i booted it up with halo2 in the drive and returned to dash. ejected it, putting graw in and i got to the "game experience may change during online play " screen and it froze with a beeping sound. i tried restarting it and it froze with little blocks around the 360 logo. after that ive been getting 3 red lights of doom. i got the chassy off right now but i dont have the right bit to get the rest of the screws off. i got some with my allen wrench. so i can't look inside yet.... that means 0102 for my console is definitly not overheating. any info would help! thanks

are you sure it's not 0011?

OpenXbox · « **Reply #57 on:** June 05, 2006, 01:17:00 PM »

I am sure i get 0110. I took it all apart and got it to give me the 2 overheating lights and then i turned it off for a few hours. I tried it again and it booted up. I then put it back together and got the 3 red lights with the same error code.

twistedsymphony · « **Reply #58 on:** June 05, 2006, 02:11:00 PM »

looks like a new code

jasrCSU · « **Reply #59 on:** June 10, 2006, 10:58:00 AM »

3 Lights and an error code 0021 here. Any clues as to what this is? This started after my house was hit by lighting. I swapped the power and av cable from a working console and it still gave me the 3 red lights. I swapped my harddrive over and that is still ok. I have not registered or bought an extended warrenty. I bought it the day it came out from bestbuy. Is there any hope in contacting MS to get it fixed?
